Jigsaw Wins CODiE for Best Online Directory and Business Leads Service

SAN MATEO, Calif.--Jigsaw has been recognized by the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) with a CODiE Award and named Best Online Directory and Business Leads Service. Jigsaw, the world’s largest database of user generated content, is a crowd-sourced database of 12 million accurate and up-to-date business contacts. It serves individuals looking for fresh business contacts as well as companies which use it to clean and replenish their CRM system or database with new prospects.

“It’s great to be recognized by the SIIA and we share the credit with all the members of the Jigsaw community who constantly curate the data and make it truly valuable,” said Jigsaw CEO Jim Fowler. “Jigsaw data feeds into dozens of different online information services, so its popularity and growth means more and better data is available to the millions of people that interact with it all over the web each day.”

Every Jigsaw contact is complete with hard-to-find direct dial phone numbers, email addresses, and information about their company’s size, location, and industry. Contacts are free on a unique give-one-get-one basis. Users can open up their own Rolodex and contribute a contact in order to get one, or sign up for a premium plan and buy them. For enterprises, Jigsaw Data Fusion is a cloud-based automated system for acquiring and managing new sales prospect records for CRM and marketing automation systems.
